Mario

Nominator(s): Nathan2055 ^talk 18:57, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured article because it's very clear, explains Mario's history very well, isn't bias, and has plenty of references. Nathan2055 ^talk 18:57, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I don't think this article is quite ready to be featured. A recent Peer Review featured a long list of problems with the article, nearly all of which have not been addressed yet, including missing citations, bias, and shallow summaries of some of the games. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 19:31, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose/Withdraw. Try GAN first, plus I see at least one cite needed tag. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 19:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest Withdraw I took a look at the history page and see that the nominator is not a significant contributor to the article. The guideline specifically states: "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to a nomination."

Note - First, that doesn't appear to be a peer review, just a note on the talk page indicating problems. I'll try and tackle some of them over the next few days. Secondly, I'm not a major editor, but I've played almost every Mario game, and made some fairly major edits to some of the game articles (such as proposing the merge of New Super Mario Bros. Mii), so I consider myself knowledgeable about the subject. It's also an article that I have read and referred to several times. --Nathan2055 ^talk 19:52, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
